The Sphere Of The Motor

The Sphere Of The Motor.

Committee Four of the United States Chamber of Commerce reported recently that the great sphere of operation of the motor trucks as related to steam railroads was in terminal work, store door delivery and in short haul zones within which the motor truck is pre-eminently fitted for service. The American experience in this respect is similar to our own. All attempts to compete with the railway over long distances have broken down. Now it but remains for the Administration to round off their work of transportation by arranging a complete system of door to door deliveries, using motor trucks as adjuncts to our own service in order to supply the modern demand for through service.
